Community Physical Infra structure (CPI)
RCDS-PPAF partnership in community physical infrastructure started in May 2001.
Infrastructure development plays a pivotal role in rural development. RCDS has a
firm belief in participatory approach. It identifies, prioritizes and implements
projects with prior consultation of communities for whom the project is designed.
That is why community organizations own such projects and the instinct of mutual
understanding and sacrifice proliferates in them. They too carry out maintenance
operation for sustainability of projects. Main object of RCDS is to bring change
in social lives of the people to foster and build capacity of community-based organizations
to such an extent that they are able to solve their issues locally. An improved
infrastructure contributes a lot towards the development of the area by providing
support in agriculture products and designing a system that ultimately leads to
improved living conditions of the people. Eight phases of this partnership have
been accomplished and the phase XI is in progress and 510 CPI schemes that have
been completed successfully. Due to CPI schemes, there is a stupendous advancement
in Community Physical Infrastructure improving irrigation system through watercourse
lining, land leveling and construction of flood protection bunds and water and sanitation,
irrigation while link roads have been developed to connect villages and hamlets
with towns and markets. CPI schemes have provided hygienic atmosphere to communities
living in the countryside through street surfacing and sanitation. As a result,
target villages have entered the new era of progress and prosperity. Different types
of CPI schemes are given blow:
- Watercourse Lining
